An improvement off per cent. has occurred to day in the quotations for the English Funds, and the other markets also present symptoms of buoyancy. This advance is due to a few purchases and a more hopeful feeling regarding the future course of affairs. Console are 904 I,- for money, and 90i for the account.

No alteration in the rate of discount has been Made to-day by the Bank of England directors. The announcement occasioned no surprise, because from what transpired yesterday afternoon the mer cantile public had given up all idea of a concession during the next week or two. The recent financial Operations for Spain contracted by several eminent firms here has occasioned a large efflux of gold, While a demand has a!so sprung up for silver for the East. These circumstances since they have been Made known have imparted to the discount market great firmness, and so sudden was the change that Yesterday morning brokers who were competing for bills at 61 per cent. advanced their quotation before the day closed to 6i per cent. In consequence of this state of things merchants and others have brought forward th e p a p er th ey h a d b een reserv i ng In expectation of a downward movement, and the discount market now presents an active appearance. About £34,000 in gold was withdrawn from the ank yesterday. The Magdalena, which left this morning for the Brezils, conveyed £66,750 in specie; The Queen In surance C ompany o f L on d on and Liverpool have just completed the purchase of the large block of buildings in Gracechurch-street, re cently erected by Messrs. Ashby and Harmer, from the design and under the superintendence of Mr. Edward Ellis, of Fenehurch-street. The premises, which are considered very eligible, are now styled Queen Insurance Bnildings, and will be occupied by the company early in September. We under stand that the company, besides sitting rent free, Will realise a very handsome return on their in veetraent. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are, in round figures, as under SHARE MARKETS—This day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOOKS. I Closing Business iharej Railways.

In one of her letters the respondent stated that whatever might occur they would remain man and wife, showing the doubtful position in which they were placed. The Lord Chancellor thought the words were " man and woman still," which would bear a different interpretation, Mr Rolt said such was the case. The Lord Chancellor referred to words in one of the appellant's letters, in which he stated that he understood he was released from a promise he made, and wished to know what was meant by these words ? Mr Rolt contended that they did not refer to any promise of marriage, but to the intercourse which had taken place between them, as well as to a promise by Major Yelverton that he would spend all his " leaves " and other oppor tunities in Miss Longworth's company. it would be a violation of language to construe them into a promise of marriage. Another ground for urging that there had been no promise of marriage might be found in the fact that it was kept secret from Major Yelverton's relations. Silo complained of his cold letters and his unloving nature, which could not have proceeded from a woman who was under promise of marriage, with whom certainly there would have been some expression of hope and comfort. She complained, too, that Major Yelverton was a vampire who had sucked away from her the blessings of life, which could hardly ie the expression of an expectant wife. In one letter the respondent asked for the bon-bon which had been promised to her when she first submitted, but that clearly did not refer to any promise of marriage, but to the intercourse which had long subsisted between them. The Lord Chancellor, referring to one of the letters, said the respondent spoka of the happy days she and Major Yel. verton had spent in the little room, five stories high, in Princes-street, Edinburgh. What did that mean ? Mr Rolt said it might allude to the intercourse which took place between them. The Lord Chancellor,inquired whether Mrs Gemble, who appeared to be the landlady, knew anything about it ? Mr Rolt —The landlady might wink at it. Lord Chelmsford—The landlady very fiercely denied any thing of the sort. Mr Rolt replied that all landladies did. Lord Chelmsford—lt was not to be assumed that the matter necessarily came to the landlady's knowledge at all. Mr Rolt—Not necessarily, of course. The learned gen tleman then proceeded to read voluminous extracts from the correspondence, with a view to support his statement that there never had been any promise of marriage. Mrs Yelverton and her two friends arrived at half-past twelve. They were escorted to the reporters' gallery by one of the ushers of the house. She looked somewhat care worn, and listened to the arguments which were urged against her with the greatest possible attention, unpleasant as many of them must necessarily have been. At the far ther end of the house ladies were admitted with opera glasses with which they endeavoured to stare Mrs Yelver ton out of countenance. She was, however, to a great ex tent protected from this rudeness by the gentlemen who were in front of her who were taking notes of the case. Mr Rolt continued his arguments, and said he should not trouble their lordships with the details of the Scottish mar riage, which would be argued by his learned friend Mr Anderson. Lord Wensleydale—What about the Irish marriage ? Is not that raised in issue here ? Mr Rolt—Oh yes, it is. Lord Wensleydale—lf there was a marriage at all, any where, it would be an important element in the inquiry. Mr Rolt said he would endeavour to meet that point, The inquiry was proceeding when our report left. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RI T. LEIGH. This was a meeting for last examination and discharge of this gentleman, described as of Brompton, barrister-at law. Ha is also one of the police magistrates at Worship street. Mr H. Linklater said that an adjournment would be ne cessary, as no accounts had yet been filed, and an adjourn ment was taken for two months by consent. IN RB ROBINS AND PRIEST. These bankrupts were auctioneers in St. Martin's lane, and the application for orders of discharge was strongly opposed and fully reported from time to time as the case proceeded. His Honour now gave judgment, but did not enter into any details. He said that the case had been before the Court a very long time, and had been argued at very great length. He thought there was a great distinction in the two cases, and the order of discharge of Priest would be suspended for eight months, and that of Robins for two months, but protecticn would be granted. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) Henry Wcodison, a coachman,isurrendered to an indict ment charging him with manslaughter. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. . The Learned Judge said, under the peculiar circumstances of the case he should only sentence him to a week's im prisonment. The trial of Robert Boyle Miller, a captain in the mer chant service, who stands indicted for embezzling the sum of £4,000, the property of his employers, Messrs. Ryland and Co., Liverpool, shipowners, was postponed until next sessions. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Joseph Harris, 34, trimming weaver, and Jarvis Sharp, were indicted for burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Henry Webb, and stealing therefrom a quantity of wearing apparel. The jury found both prisoners guilty. The Common Sergeant, in sentencing the prisoners, commented strongly on the conduct of each, and ordered Harris to 9 months' and Sharp to 18 months' imprisonment, with hard labour, THIRD COURT. THE ALLEGED AtA.HsT.A.DGHTER IN TILE NEW-CUT. Sarah Weston, 32, widow, was indicted for the man slaughter of Stephen Weston. It will be recollected that the prisoner and the deceased resided in Johanna-street, New-cut, and led a cat and dog sort of life in consequence of the intemperance of the pri soner. Frequent quarrels took place between them, and cu Sunday morning, the 15th ult., it was alleged by one of the witnesses that the prisoner had a quarrel with her hus band, and after pulling him out of bed she knocked his head several times against the floor, and on the arrival of the surgeon life was extinct. One of the daughters of the prisoner, who was in the room when the circumstance 00.- curred, said her mother did not strike her father's head on the ground at all. She only endeavoured to pick him 11 P and put him into bed, as he had been noisy and out of his mind all day. The surgeon who had made a post mortem examination of the body of deceased, said he found many superficial bruises, but they were not sufficient to affect vitality, and that a person struggling violently in delirium tremens might, if forcibly held down, sink back and die iiPm exhaustion. There were marks of severe injuries on his head, as if from some blunt instrument. The two seen by the witness Samuels, however, would not, in his opinion, have been sufficient to cause death, The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. This conoluded the business of the 6088i011% ENGLISH TRAVELLERS IN PRUSSIA.--The Police President of Aix la-Chapelle haa issued a solemn protest Against the statement made by an English journal that English travellers are insulted in journeying through Prussia. A German paper alleges that the assertions have been published by the English innkeepers With a vi9vf to prevent intending travellers from proceeding abroad, REMARKABLE ESCAPE:A very singular accident happened at Bishopmill on Tuesday. A child of about 3 years of age was amusing itself by the side of one of the mill lades and fell into it. The helpless creature was carried 100 yards along with the current, 80 yards of that distance being under a continuous arch below the mills, the turnpike road, and a dwelling-house known by the name of the "Ark." The water was about 3 feet deep, the arch very little above its surface, and the darkness, of course, complete. When the child came out at the end it was seen, and when about 20 yards farther down the race was taken up by a boy. It was no worse, and was quickly re stored to its parents,—Elgi n Courant, HOUSE OF LORDS. YELVERTON V. LONGWORTH (OR YELVERTON). Present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Chelmsford, Lord Kingsdown, and Lord Wensleydale. This morning this case was proceeded with. Mr. Rolt, Q.C., for the appellant (Major Yelverton) con tinued his address, reading lengthened extracts from the respo'ndent's letters. She described herself as like the woman in the Gospel, "troubled about many things." She had doubts about her health, doubts about herself, doubts about the continuance of her intimacy with Major Yelver ton. She added, "Oh, for the blessed days of happiness when I hoped we should be one," and said she feared that having lost the treasure of to-dry she might lose the blessedness of life hereafter. In all these letters, the learned counsel argued, there was nothing pointing to a public marriage, nothing pointing to a marriage at all—negativing, indeed, the whole idea of marriage. Referring to Major Yelverton's own letters, he contended that there were only two which could by any possible construction imply a pt omise of marriage ; while, after he was married to another lady (bhs. Forbes, who was present in one of the side gal. leries), the respondent wrote to him to congratulate him on the fact, and asking for a place in his prayers.

BRUTAL ASSAULT. —James M'Carthy and William Byrne, two costerraongers, were charged before Mr Knox with violently assaulting William Lake, a general dealer, living in Fitzroy-place, Tottenham-court-road. The complainant, the upper part of his face being covered with adhesive plaster, said about 12 o'clock last night he went into the Bull's Head public-house, Tottenham-court road, when the prisoners came in, and Byrne seized him by the neckerchief and pulled him down, and M'Carthy cut him on the temples with a knife. The prisoners s.lid no knife was used. Complainant said he saw a knife in the band of M'Carthy, and that M'Carthy struck him with it on both temples, and while he was on the ground kicked him. In answer to M'Carthy, thu complainant said he could not state what sort of knife it was, as he was stunned, and was lying on the ground rienseless when the constable came up. [The complainant showed an apron he was wear ing at the time, and it was saturated with blood.] Mr Rowe, landlord of the Bull's Head, Tottenham-court- road, said that a woman came intohis house about 11 o'clock and struck a man, and the man resented it. The complain ant and the man (named Jacobs) were subsequently sitting together, when M'Carthy came in, and with an oath too fearful to mention said, h aving 4 ' I'll put this knife int o your belly. " We put M'Carthy out, and afterwards By rne, but the latter came in again a clasp knife in his hand, and seized the complainant by the neckerchief and pulled him down, and while both the complainant and Byrne were on the ground M'Carthy jumped on the complainant's head. m a king inquiries in pl a i n clothes, proved seeing M'Carthy kick the complainant o n his temples and jump on his head.

A remarkable event has lately happened in the Tyrol. About the end of last month a man was sentenced to death, to pay to costs of the trial, and ail damages demanded, foressassinating one gend arme, trying to assassinate soother, killing two men, resorting to violence against the guard in the exe cution of their duty, and wounding another man. The culprit, a man named Gasser, had threatened to kill his wife ; she heard of t, and took refuge in a neighbour's house,whereupoi Gasser shot the neigh bour's dog. The neighbour omplained to the police and two gendarmes were sett to arrest Gasser, but when he got to his door heired upon them. One fell dead, and the other las severely wounded. On this, gendarm es an d g ods from anothe r pl ace were called up. G amer hac barricaded himself in his house, had thr ee guns, aid f i re d on everyone who came near. Th e corpse of thetisad gendartee was s till before the doo r , an d a relatn n of Gasser, trying to take it away, w as s h ot dead The excitement Was now intense. S ome of the b e ggers posted themselves in the house o p pos i te, fired sway at Gasser ' s house, and received hi s fi re in retu . n, losing one dead and hiving anothe r wounded. ]in the course of the day a hundred sh o t s were fired rgainst Gasser's house, and at night h e was still in v ssesaion. The weather was bitterly cold, all his windows were broken, and during the night he took refuge in the cowhonse. Next morning two cannon were brought up and some ten cannon shots fired on the house. At last, as all seemed quiet, a body of men stormed the house, and found Gasser lying exhausted, or rather crouching down, on the floor. H e had opened the veins at his w r i sts and lost some blood; but the state of the house, with the windows broken, and stains of blood on the floor, baffled all description. The account of the Lu au hi mse lf is that he was between 30 and 40, marri e d a s econd time, father of two children, passionate drinker of brandy, a b a d character, often b rought up before a j ust i ce for brawling, a passionate sportsman.

Law Intelligence. (From .Punch.) We need hardly say how great is our respect for the in telligence of the Law; in fact, it is only out of regard for the maintenance of its die dignity that we feel compelled to draw the attention of the members of the Learned Pro fession to the system of flagrant puffing adopted in the legal announcements of the newspapers. We allude especially to the notices relating to the Bankruptcy Court. Thus, may be seen in one single staring line— " Mr. REGISTRAR ROCHE is the Registrar of the day." A very excellent gentleman and most admirable Regis trar. But to say that he is " The Registrar of the Day —that is, the Registrar, par excellence—is rather hard upon Mr. HAZLITT, who is, we are sure, no whit behind Mr. ROCHE in the skill with which he discharges his professional duties, it's all very ss ell for Al ESSRS. NOSES & SON, or BUY'EIkI ik Co,, to placard the town with flaring posters to the effect that he (that is, e'iher one or the other), is the Snip of the Day; but it is a step or two down the ladder forMr.REGISTRAR ROCHE to be a parry to such an arrogant assertion as that of which we complain. While upon this subject we would draw attention to the mode in which Public Business is transacted by some of our principal Legal Functionaries. Among the arrangements we find : "Before Mr. COMMISSIONER HOLROYD. BEALES, Audit, at 11." Good gracious I Every cue knows what "Audit" is. It is the celebrated powerful Ale brewed at Trinity College, Cambridge. Strong ale at eleven o'clock i' the morning ! For what is Mr. Commissioner fit for the rest of the day I Let us ask him what does he take at One? What is his tipple at Three? And—shade of Coin upon LITTLETON —what can his Nightcap be ? And then they call Law a dry study. Yes, we should think it was. Anecdotes about Meyerbeer. Mr. :;horley writes as follows in Saturday's:..eftlrenceum : —Every one is now naturally contributing to the public his recollections of Meyerbeer. When these bear the signature of an artist, so well known and reputed as M. Offenbach, for history's sake they are worthy of credence, or correc tion, as they case may be. This is what he states in the Gt and Journal on a subject which, he may be possibly unaware, has been largely canvassed in England for some years past. " On his return from England," writes M. Offenbach, "Meyerbeer spoke to me, with admiration, of the majestic execution of Handel's ' Messiah,' by 700 musicians. ' I was so much struck with it,' said he, 'that I promised to myself to write an oratorio for London.'— Well, master ? was my question. lam at work I' was the reply. This oratorio, if not finished, must be in a very for ward state." Is there not some misapprehension in this statement ? Ever since the death of Mendelssohn, so far back, at least, as the year 1855, when L'Etoile du Nord' was produced at the old Royal Italian Opera-house, the Committee of the Birmingham Festival (the greatest musical meeting in Europe) have, with small intermission and every possible inducement, such as respect and earnest desire could offer, invited Meyerbeer to write an oratorio for them. I can speak to this point, having more than once been the medium of messages and persuasions bearing out official proposals. Without positively declining, Meyerbeer hesitated on the plea of engagements, unacquaintance with the English language, want of practice in the style, &c. Two years ago, at the Handel Festival in the Crystal Palace, he ex pressed himself as having been profoundly impressed with the execution of ' Israel' by the orchestra of .four thousand performers. In particular, he adverted to the effect of the organ employed in Handel's Ora torios, as a new, sensation to him. " I had heard it," he said, "at our Garrison Church, at Berlin, when Mendelssohn conducted sacred music ; but there it produced no effeot :"—and no wonder, since drearier place for music could hardly be cited than that huge, bald building I At this last visit to England I believe Meyerbeer was again solicited on the subject of an oratorio for England, with reference to the coming Birmingham Festival ; but I know that he spoke to me on the matter when I saw him at Berlin, in September, 1862—clearly stating that he did entertain the idea, not being sure how fa: he could succeed ; but adding, that he was engaged, by way of experiment, on a Biblical opera—l presume the " Judith," which has been more than once adverted to, and which, it is needless to add, as was clearly pointed out to him, would be a work inadmissible to the stage in London. It may save writers to come trouble to have the dates of Meyerbeer's four visits to England. The first was in 1832, when his " Robert" was produced under Mr Monck Mason's management; the second, in 1855, when " L'E toile" was given; the third, in 1859, at the introductionof"Dinorah;' the fourth and last, two years ago, when his March Over• ture brought him to the Great Exhibition. In coaneotion with Meyerbeer, we may add the following notes : —M. d'Ortigue has written some articles in the Journal des .Debats which contain information not to be passed over. He confirms what has been said of the mass of manuscripts left by Meyerbeer, and adds, "I am assured that Meyerbeer has disposed of these in a singular fashiou, These works (‘ L'Africainet excepted) are to be locked up in a closet, to be handed over to such of his grand-children or great-great-grandchildren as shall give signs of remark able musical dispositions," The French critic bears out to the fullest all that has been said of Meyerbeer's courtliness and indecision—telling how he flattered his orchestra during the exhaustion of months of rehearsal—how he tried, altered, rejected, combi nation after combination, passage after passage. The follow ing anecdote shows to what firm purpose he could turn his finesse. M. Jouy, the tiresome Academician, to whom we owe the bad book of Guillaume Tell,' was resolved, M. d'Ortigue tells us, to fasten himself on Meyerbeer, who, discreetly, was no less resolute to admit of no such partner. ship. M. Jouy had his manuscript cut and dried, and waited only for Meyerbeer's arrival in Paris to pounce on him with it. His coming had been announced. "But Meyerbeer," says M. d'Ortigue, " was not one of those who write three months beforehand in their memorandum-book, on such a day I shall go to such a place,' and who keep their word. As an instance,—his first Parisian publisher, M. Schlesinger, assures me that he paid fifteen days sunning for a place in the Calais mail, consequently an empty place, in the name of Meyerbeer, who put off his journey from day to day, and, atter all, did not come till three weeks later." The resolute Academician, on the oc casion described, waylaid the Barrier through which Meyerbeer was to drive, one, two, three, four, five, six days running. At last the Master appeared, and while his ser vant was busy with affairs of the octroi, the Academician charged the carriage, poem in hand—" Here I am, Master, with my manuscript—this time you shall not escape me." "My dear M. de Jouy," said Meyerbeer, with his perfect urbanity, " I should be truly flattered to have such a ,. literary comrade as yourself, but one thing makes me afraid and draw back. You have had the fortune to have your name attached to two masterpieces of the lyric stage of our period, 'La Vestale' and ' Guillaume Tell.' You must admit that it would be presumption on my part to pretend to add a third to the list, and to put myself in the same line as Spontini and Rossini." "Rossini," cried the fatuous Academician, " don't talk to me about him I He has spoilt my ' Guillaume Tell.' The unlucky fellow 1 I gave him three colours, the warlike colour, the Swiss colour, the Austrian colour—and he has missed all the three 1" Meyerbeer, adds M. d'Ortigue, kept to himself this anec dote (than which there is surely none richer in the annals of mortal conceit) during many years. A marriage is arranged between Mr Mundy, son of Mr W. Mundy, member for South Derbyshire, and Miss Emily Cavendish, daughter of the Hon. Richard Caven dish. The Right Hon.

The Thames, churned by innumerable steamboats, if smelt from the parapets of Westminster or London bridges, has the odour of a rose compared with our Clyde. Let any one look at the surface of our canal-like river, from the Victoria Bridge to and below Renfrew, when the water may happen to be still, and he will observe that the smooth surface pre sents the appearance of heavy raindrops falling into it all over, and a considerable shower is represented by the agita tion. Now, this is not descending rain, but escaping gases. Sometimes a considerable quantity of this material bubbles up, and you are tempted to suppose that fish has not fled from our river, although it is " vexed by innumerable keels.' It might serve some useful end that a chymist were collect ing some of this air of paradise by inverting over one of those gurgling escapes a bell-jar vessel, and sending it with its gaseous contents as a present to the River Trust on their first meeting.—North British. Daily Mail. ANOTHER COLLISION WITH AN ASCOT TRAIN. Shortly before 6 o'clock last evening a collision took place between a South-Western Railway train and an engine belonging to the South-Eastern Railway Company at the goods yard junction near the Reading station, but the accident was, fortunately, unaccompanied by injury to human life. The station is jointly used by the two com panies, and at the above hoar a train arrived with passen gers from Ascot, and the empty carriages were shunted out of the station by the South-Western engine ; when they had reached within a short distance of the switch-box they came into collision with a South-Eastern Company's engine, which was shunting across the same line on which - irri',ges were, and the consequence was that the a, a horse box, and two carriages were thrown the empty o, and each more or less damaged.

King of the Vale jumped off in front, but was quick:y passed by the Ranger, who took a clear lead after rounding the top turn, King of the Vale going on second, Columba third, Blue Mantle fourth, Early Purl lying off until half. way through the Swinley bottom, where Blue Mantle ran into second place, and shortly afterwards joining the Ranger, the pace, which had only been moderate for the previous half mile, was slightly improved. Approaching the Brick kilns Blue Mantle dropped back again, and Early Purl began to draw up to the leading horses. At the distance the Ranger was headed by Blue Mantle and King of the Vale, but Mr. Savile's horse, coming out again opposite the inclosnre, won a good race by three parts of a length ; a neok separated the second and third, Early Purl was a bad fourth, and Columba last. The unfortunate accident at Egham, on Tuesday, had a marked effect on the number of visitors yes terday. The Prince of 'Wales did not honour the meeting with his presence. The Royal Hunt Cup, if the objection against Gem of the Sea had been sustained, would have been a rare turn-up for the bookmakers, as scarcely any of them wrote Crisis' name. The only race of any importance to-morrow is the Alexandra Piate, named in honour of the Princess of Wales. After the running of Crisis in the Royal Hunt Cup it would be folly to look further for the winner, as nearly all the same horses are engaged. Evelina and Lady Clifden may fight it out for places. A FRESH MAN. Great Northern Hospital, The eighth anniversary dinner of this useful institution was held last night at the Albion, Aldersgate-street, Sir ' Lawrence Falk, Bart„ M.P., in the chair. The Chairman having proposed " Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen," "Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales," " The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese," responded to by the Rev. Canon Dale, and " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers," called attention to the re port, of which the following is an abstract: — "The Great Northern Hospital has been established in the new premises in the Caledonian-road. Donations have been received during the present year as follows :—A legacy of £330 has been lacqueathed to the hospital by the will of the late George Wheelhouse, Esq. It will be remembered that the hospital had its origin in a dispensary, established by the late Mr Statham in the neighbourhood of King's cross. Converted into an hospital, much needed by the constantly increasing northern districts, it now forms the nucleus of a great metropolitan charity. It has a large and efficient medical surgical staff. The arrangement b 3 which the North London Deaconesses' Institution under took the nursing of the hospital has fully answered the expectations formed of it. Only increased funds are now wanting to make the hospital fully available for the relief of the northern districts. The receipts for the eleven months ending 31st May, 1864, amounted to £1,297 12s 7d, the payments to £1,291 8s 7d. The number of out-patients relieved during the same period is 44,396. To effect the most important and pressing objects, it is calculated that about £4,000 will be sufficient—viz., out patients' department, including waiting-rooms, consulting rooms, and dispensary about £7OO. To render the present building thoroughly efficient, about £350. To build new wards about £2,000. For purchase of the present interest in the hospital buildings, furniture of new wards, and in cidental expenses about £1,000." The CHAIRICiN then proposed, " Prosperity to the Great Northern Hospital." He (pointed out that it was situated in a densely populated neighbourhood, where die. ease was more common than in more open districts where people had all the advantages of ventilation, and possessed a better knowledge than their poorer brethren of the means of preventing disease or stopping is on its appearance. The :hospital had done much; it was pushing ou to do more, and whilst he did not admit it was desirable that a hospital should be allowed to get into a state of indebted ness, still where there was a pressure of misery the com mittee were justified in stepping forward to relieve it, in the confident belief that the public would support them. The toast was drunk with three times three. The Healths of the Medical Staff, the Committee of Management, the Chairman, and the Stewards, followed. The music performed during the evening was under the direction of Mr D. W. King, and was sung by Miss Poole (who never sang better than on this occasion, and was loudly cheered), the Misses King, Miss Jane Wells, Mr D. King, and Mr Lawler. Subscriptions were announced to the amount of MOO. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE.

OCKE moved that the bill be read that day six Mr. LAYARD seconded the motion. Sir M. PETO supported the bill. After a short discussion, the amendment was withdrawn on the understanding that the Board of Trade should look closely into and deal with the clauses of the bill, GAOLS BILL. Sir G. GREY said he should postpone the second read ing of the bill which stood for to-morrow until this day week. INTOXICATING LIQUORS BILL. A large number of petitions having been presented in favour of the bill, Mr LAWSON moved its second reading. The object of the measure, which is commonly known as the "Permis sive Bill," is to enable any parish, on the approval of the proposition of a majority of ratepayers, to prevent the sale of intoxicating liquors during Sunday, by entirely closing the public•house for four•and-twenty hours. Capt. JERVIS rose to move that the bill be read a second time this day six months. He had been five years against his will in the States of America where the sale of intoxicat ing liquors was prohibited, and he knew that drunken ness had increased there, A man there, instead of going to a bar to take his glass, went down into a cellar, where he got drunk and was kept there, because if he came up and was seen, the seller would be fined as well as the drinker. Amongst the higher classes people were obliged to close their shutters before they brought their wine on the table, (Laughter.) Mr ROEBUCK said that during the many years he had been in Parliament, he had never heard submitted a more mischievous bill. He did not mince the matter at all. (Laughter.) By this bill it was proposed that the House of Commons should abdicate its functions. In the next place the bill would sow dissension in every parish in Eng land, and by the time it came into full operation England would be no place for a peaceable person to live in. His next objection to the bill was that it was eminently an unjust bill and directed entirely against the poor. It was a most cruel bill. He had great faith in the intentions of the per sons who brought forward their bill, but none in their in tellect—(hear, hear)—and regarded it as mere idle talk on a bill which it was well known could not pass. It West minster. under this bill, put this bill in operation, would that extend to the refreshment room of the House of Com mons ? Would it have the effect of preventing the in troduction of intoxicating liquors into that house ? Could anything be more foolish than that ? (Laughter.) This was a bill directed against the poor; for the rich, who could lay in a stock of such things as they wanted, would not be in the slightest degree affected by it. As between the magistrates and the municipal authorities he preferred the magistrates, although he readily admitted that the question was well worthy of consideration. Mr MARTIN opposed the bill on the ground that it would lead to smuggling, and to worse evils than those which at present existed. Mr SCOURFIELD thought the bill would give wide spread annoyance. Sir G. GREY opposed the bill, on the ground that it would give an intolerable tyranny to the majority. With regard to an increase in the number of convictions, it was no proof of the increase of drunkenness, as by the refreshment houses a new class of offences had been created. He thought the evil might to a great extent be prevented, if there were a better administration of the law in the metropolitan districts. At present a man might be convicted two or three times, and yet was able to transfer the license. He thought that in such a case the house should be closed for at least two years. Mr. BUXTON considered that great improvements had taken place in the habits of the working classes. In that improvement he considered all reforms rested. Mr. HUMBERSTONE opposed the bill. Mr. W. FORSTER sympathised with temperance prin. ciples, but he could not vote for the bill. He could not think it right to transfer the power of granting licensee from the magistrates to town councils, although he thought the inhabitants should have some voice in the number of licensed houses there should be. He hoped that early next session a bill would be brought forward by the Govern ment for putting the drinking houses of the country under some general system. (Hear, hear.) Mr HENLEY said the duty of granting licenses was very unpleasant duty devolving upon magistrates. The difficulty they felt was not with regard to public houses, but with regard to beer houses, on the establishment of which he thought there ought to be some restraint. He believed that if this bill passed the people of a parish on which an interdict was placed would go out of the parish, and people would drink twice as much. He opposed the bill because it was unjust, and because he believed it would be wholly inoperative. Mr PEASE had hoped that the Government would have been induced to support the bill after the multitude of petitions that had been presented. The house then divided, when there appeared-- For the amendment .. 292 Against it Majority against the bill The bill was consequently lost.

The authorities of the South.: Western Railway were in attendance, and every person in their employ who could give information relative to the circumstances attending the terrible calamity were in waiting for examination, the directors being anxious that the most searching investigation should take place. Owing to the lateness of the fixed for the commence. went of the proceedings, and the interruption of the ordinary trains to Egham bythespetcaiekn up to leetothe Ascot race meeting, the only evidence the time of despatching oar parcel was that of idea. tification of the bodies.
